Spring into Sexual Health

In the spring, an old organization’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. And sex. And sexual health. This spring, ASHA is launching a new campaign—Spring into Sexual Health—to bring greater awareness to this important subject. Over the next three months, we’ll be rolling out new content and highlighting three important national health observances: STI Awareness Month in April, National Women’s Health Week in June, and Men’s Health Month in June. Check back here all throughout spring and visit our Facebook and Twitter pages to see all that’s blooming this spring.
